Presentation Description:
Data comes huge responsibility - how can we use data and artificial intelligence in an ethical and sustainable way to provide immense user value? We use artificial intelligence in our everyday lives even without thinking about it — eg. spam detection in our gmail inbox, getting relevant search results and even relevant ads on google or facebook, or personalized recommendations on Netflix or Amazon. Even as customers, we don’t stop and think about how companies use our data. How can we balance the need for user data privacy and tangible end value to our users?
